Preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease and line 3 x 18cm loose-bottomed cake tins and set aside. In a bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric whisk, until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time then fold in flour, almonds, baking powder and lemon zest (if the mixture feels too thick, add a splash of milk. Divide the mixture evenly between the three tins and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Turn out on to wire racks to cool.
To make the filling, whip the mascarpone with cream and icing sugar in a large bowl, until stiff enough to hold its shape. Fold in the raspberries and set aside. For the icing, beat butter and icing sugar in a bowl, until light and fluffy. Add the lemon zest, milk and a few drops of food colouring, until the desired shade of pink is attained. To assemble, put one sponge on a serving plate and spread half the filling mixture on top. Top with the second sponge and repeat with the remaining filling. Top with the third and final sponge. Using a spatula, spread frosting over the cake and scatter over the rose petals.
